Computer science is the discipline that studies the
structure and function of computers, as well as the application of
computers in solving many important problems in scientific,
engineering, and commercial domains. Covering a wide range of topics
in the areas of foundations of computer science, artificial
intelligence, computer engineering, data and knowledge base systems,
software engineering and other software technologies, the Computer
Science programmes at HKUST are dedicated to educate students and to
advance research in computer and information technology, as well as to
assist in the development and growth of the information industry in
Hong Kong and in this region. The Department of Computer Science
offers a full range of courses to meet the needs of its own students
and students from other departments at HKUST. It has programmes that
lead to the BEng, MPhil, MSc, and PhD degrees. Besides taking a number
of required computer science courses, students are generally
encouraged to design individual study plans that are tailored to their
own interests.
